It's very cool, but where is the setup document exactly?

Uhhh, and where is this folder? Through install (on w2k3 r2) I can't choose the target folder, and sorry, but I don't find any files, but only a MacFilterCallout.dll in System32...

Thank you for your help, the exact file name is SetupDHCPMacFilter.rtf.

I cant seem to find the correct configuration file syntax.

I have a file named DHCPMACFILTER.TXT, have specified its full pathname in the relevant registry key (in Parameters like said above, Win2k3 here) and inside has 2 lines:

MAC_ACTION = ALLOW

0020ED8E9E7E

The error file says that "File format not proper" and the info files that the DHCP server has started.

If I remove the MAC address and leave only the MAC_ACTION line then I get again "File format not proper" in the error file, but now the info file has:

The DHCP server has successfully started.

Please advice further...

Thanks.

i cant see any logs 1033 from the event viewer.

Thanks for your answer, it works perfectly.

Gee... never thought the curly brackets where part of the syntax as their usual meaning is to specify the set of disticnt values allowed.

Anyway, thanks again, very useful addon.

This is a feature I have been waiting for way too long. Up until today if you wanted to have some control

What about classifying a device (VOIP phone) so that it's thrown into a separate range of IP addresses like ISC DHCP allows for?

I can classify my phones (all NEC) based on the first three parts of the MAC ID so that they're assigned IP's in the 10.30.15 range, but never into 10.30.13 or 10.30.14.

This is a VERY DESIRED feature that isn't addressed anywhere in the DHCP services.

This seems to be nearly what we need for our application, but is it possible to use a range of MAC addresses?

For example we have a range of addresses for an embedded system, and we want to use DHCP for assigning an IP address, without interferance with the our office network.

Something like following will solve this :

MAC_ACTION = DENY

001A85******

Thanks in advance

This all sounds great, but I wish that instead of doing this:

MAC_ACTION={ALLOW}

000b0e994401

000b0e994402

000b0e994403

000b0e994404

000b0e994405

I could do this:

MAC_ACTION={ALLOW}

000b0e*

That way I could permit DHCP to any vendor specific device and deny DHCP to all others without having to make periodic changes to the MAC list and worry about stopping/starting the service.  We have 3000+ devices (all from one vendor) that we want to get DHCP while not allowing it for anything else.  Anyone know if this will work?
